Ruote pasta is a type of Italian pasta that is shaped like wheels, resembling wagon wheels. The name "ruote" actually means "wheels" in Italian. This unique shape allows it to hold onto sauces well. Due to its shape, ruote pasta is often used in pasta salads, casseroles, or with thicker sauces that can cling to the pasta. The ridges and holes in the pasta help trap the sauce, ensuring that every bite is flavourful. Ruote pasta can be fun to eat for both kids and adults due to its playful appearance, and it's a great choice when you want to add a bit of visual interest to your pasta dishes. - Made in Italy - Durum Wheat Semolina Pasta - 14% Protein Pasta - Bronze Drawn Pasta - Pasta Di Gragnano IGP - Suitable for Vegan and Vegetarian Diets - Kosher certified - Egg Free Garofalo pasta is formed through a bronze die, this method allows a little friction on the surface of the pasta, which becomes slightly rough and porous allowing the sauce to cling and be absorbed into the pasta giving a delightful eating experience!
